The Search for Breakfast in Wychwood

Since the closing of our two favourite places for breakfast (the lamented Queen's Dairy and D-Ganz, which also did a great steak), my husband and I have wandered from Bathurst past Oakwood looking for a cheap, satisfying, cozy place to get our scrambled/brown/sausage/tea on. Recommendations gratefully received! I think we now have a clear winner in the $10+/per diner category.

1. World Class Bakers

690 St Clair Ave W
Toronto, ON M6C 1B1
(416) 654-0606

Category: Bakeries

4/22/2009

You have to know your way around World Class Bakers. First, avoid many of the things they make themselves. The bread is good (particularly their sourdough, which is very tastily sour, just they way I like it), and the croissants are delicious. The…More »

2. The Eagle Twins Restaurant

956 St. Clair Ave. W
Toronto, ON M6E 1A1
(416) 536-5454

Category: Canadian (Traditional)

Update - 11/16/2010

OK, I've decided. It is very dingy. Repaint, and I'll reconsider.

671 St Clair Avenue West
Toronto, ON M6C 1A7
(416) 792-8696

Categories: Coffee & Tea, Breakfast & Brunch, Sandwiches

Neighbourhood: Wychwood

Update - 11/16/2010

A small rift in the lute, as P.G. Wodehouse would say. I found CocoaLatte's basic breakfast unsatisfying. Was there too little butter on the toast? Was the breakfast too small? Were the slices of chorizo simply not doing it for me? Maybe it was…More »

Toronto, ON M6G 3N4
(416) 588-5928

Category: Canadian (New)

Neighbourhood: Christie Pits

12/6/2009

If the Universal Grill were a little closer to my home, it would be my go-to for brunch with houseguests. This little place is equal parts attitude & food. I found the hipster vibe an eensy bit obtrusive, but the cheesy omelette is extraordinarily…More »

My lantern held high, I continue my search for the Perfect Breakfast Diner Within a Fifteen-Minute Walk From My Home. Alas, today was not the day.

Boom Breakfast & Co. has a lot going for it, believe me. Bright, sunny room (but not too bright),…More »

After a more than 6-month hiatus, Vannis is open once more. I dropped in for the breakfast last week, and I had to update my Wychwood breakfast list.

Thai Thai Thai Love Love Love (13) How did Canadians live before Thai food? I know there was a dark age in the early eighties, before Satay on the Road opened, when one could hardly find a rice noodle in this town. Now, we're up to our necks in it - and lovely as it is to have so many options, if you're going to promise me Thai, you'd better make it flavourful. From worst to best, here is my celebration of this delicious supra-equatorial cuisine.	Best food near Wychwood (8) After three and a half years in the area, these are my favourites. We're short on breakfast and I wish we had a good bar or pub, but man, can we ever do dinner! Most of these are budget options. If your idea of romance is $35 pastas, look elsewhere, but these are great places for dinner with friends - or with a special someone who prefers good food to tablecloths. Don't forget a sundae after: very romantic!
Toronto Libraries (6) Toronto's got an awesome library system; here are the ones I know.	Wedding Dress Day on the Danforth (4) On a rainy May morning, my Bride-to-Be friend and I set out for a last-ditch dress excursion for her September wedding. We kept to the Danforth: multiple dress store options and great restaurants for lunch. The last review refers to an earlier day.
Book Shopping! (9) Toronto is a great place to overload your bookcases. From the classy to the seedy, these are my favourite stops:
